                            STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                                  (Employee)

     This Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") is made and 
entered into as of the 27th day of January, 1999, by and between The 
InterGroup Corporation , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the 
individual employee (the "Employee") listed on the Acknowledgment to which 
this Stock Option Agreement is attached as Schedule 1 (the "Acknowledgment.")

                              W I T N E S E T H :

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Employee the right and option 
to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the 
conditions set forth in this Stock Option Agreement (said shares, as adjusted 
in accordance with Section 16 of the Stock Option Agreement, or any part 
thereof, are hereinafter referred to as "Employee's Shares");

      WHEREAS, the number of  Employee's Shares and the dates upon which the 
Option may be exercised are set forth in the Acknowledgment;

      WHEREAS, Employee desires to receive the right and option to purchase 
Employee's Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in 
this Stock Option Agreement;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, of the mutual 
promises, covenants and conditions herein contained, for the purposes and 
objectives set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and for other good and 
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby 
acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound, hereby agree 
as follows:

      1.    Definitions.  In addition to the words and terms elsewhere defined 
in this Stock Option Agreement, certain capitalized words and terms used in 
this Stock Option Agreement shall have the meanings given to them by the 
definitions and descriptions in The InterGroup Corporation 1998 Stock Option 
Plan (the "Plan"), unless the context or use indicates another or different 
meaning or intent, and such definitions shall be equally applicable to both 
the singular and plural forms of any capitalized words and terms defined in 
the Plan.

      2.     Grant of Option.  The Company grants to Employee, and Employee 
hereby receives from the Company the right and option (the "Option") to 
purchase Employee's Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set 
forth in this Stock Option Agreement and the Plan.

      3.     Term of Option.  The term of the Option (the "Term") shall be for 
the period beginning on December 22, 1998 (the "Effective Date") and ending on 
the date of December 21, 2008 (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, 
that, except as set forth in Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10, hereof, the Term shall 
expire upon Employee no longer being employed by the Company or any 
Subsidiary.

      4.     Exercise of Option.  The Option to purchase Employee's Shares 
shall be exercisable during the Term as set forth on the Acknowledgment under 
"Vesting Schedule".  The Option shall be exercised by Employee delivering 
written notice to the Company of such exercise.  Payment shall be made in cash 
(which may include such documentation as the Committee and Employee's broker, 
if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery 

<PAGE>

to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the purchase price 
for such Employee's Shares), in whole shares of Common Stock already owned by 
Employee or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock.  Such notice shall 
state that Employee elects to exercise the Option, the number of Employee's 
Shares in respect of which it is being exercised and the manner of payment for 
such Employee's Shares, and shall either (i) fix a date (not more than ten 
(10) business days from the date of exercise) for the payment of the full 
purchase price for such Employee's Shares.  Cash payments shall be made by 
wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable 
to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be 
required to deliver certificates for shares with respect to which an Option is 
exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available 
funds in payment of the purchase price thereof.  Common Stock payments (valued 
at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise) 
shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form.  If 
certificates representing Common Stock are used to pay all or part of the 
purchase price for Employee's Shares, separate certificates shall be delivered 
by the Company representing the same number of shares as each certificate so 
used, and an additional certificate shall be delivered representing any 
additional shares to which Employee is entitled as a result of the exercise of 
the Option.  Except as provided in Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10 hereof, no Option 
may be exercised at any time unless Employee is then an employee of the 
Company or of a Subsidiary.  Employee shall have none of the rights of a 
stockholder with respect to Employee's Shares until such Employee's Shares 
shall be transferred to Employee upon the exercise of the Option and, except 
as provide in Section 16 hereof, no adjustments shall be made to Employee's 
Shares for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary and whether in cash, 
securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the 
record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

      5.     Purchase Price.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 
of this Stock Option Agreement, the purchase price for any of Employee's 
Shares purchased pursuant to the terms of this Stock Option Agreement shall be 
the price per share set forth on the Acknowledgment.

      6.     Non-transferability of Option.  No Option shall be transferable 
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option 
shall be exercised during the lifetime of Employee only by Employee.  A breach 
by Employee of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or 
in this Stock Option Agreement shall cause the Option to be terminated.

      7.     Termination of Option Upon Termination of Employment.  If the 
Employee's employment by the Company shall terminate for any reason other than 
death.  Disability or termination for cause, the Option shall terminate six 
months after the Employee's employment terminates (unless the Optionee dies 
during such period), or on the Option's expiration date, if earlier, and shall 
be exercisable during such period after termination of employment only with 
respect to the number of shares which the Employees was entitled to purchase 
on the day preceding the termination of the Employee's employment, except that 
the Committee may, in specific cases, and in its sole discretion, permit 
exercise by an Optionee of all, or a part of, the unexercised Option within 
the period referred to above after the Employee's employment terminates.  If 
the Employee's employment shall terminate because of discharge for cause, the 
Option shall terminate on the date of the Employee 's discharge.

      8.     Termination of Option Upon Death or Disability.  In the event of 
the Employee 's death or Disability while in the employ of the Company or 
Employee's death within six months after the termination of the Employee's 
employment (other than by reason of discharge for cause) the Option shall 
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months after the date of the 

<PAGE>

Employee's death or Disability, or (ii) the Option's expiration date.  The 
Option shall be exercisable during such period after the Employee's death or 
Disability with respect to the number of shares as to which the Option shall 
have been exercisable on the date preceding the Employee's death or 
Disability, as the case may be.

      9.     Other Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this 
Stock Option Agreement to the contrary, the exercise of any Option after the 
termination of employment of Employee for any reason is subject to the 
following:  (i) no Option may be exercised after the expiration date of the 
Option; and (ii) only Options exercisable by Employee at the time of such 
termination may be exercised after such termination of Employee.

      10.    Leave of Absence.  A leave of absence, unless otherwise 
determined by the Board prior to the commencement thereof, shall not be 
considered a termination of employment.  The Option shall not be affected by 
any change of employment so long as Employee continues to be an Employee of 
the Company or a Subsidiary.

      11.    Right of Company to Terminate Employment.  Nothing contained in 
the Plan or in this Stock Option Agreement shall confer on Employee the right 
to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere in any 
way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment 
of Employee at any time, with or without cause.

      12.    Non-alienation of Benefits.  No right or benefit under the plan 
or this Stock Option Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, 
sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or 
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, sell assign, hypothecate, pledge, 
exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.  No right or 
benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, 
contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefit.

      13.    Termination and Amendment.  No termination, modification or 
amendment of the Plan or of this Stock Option Agreement may, without the 
consent of Employee, adversely affect the rights of Employee with respect to 
the Option.

      14.    Withholding.  The Company's obligation to deliver shares of 
Common Stock upon the exercise of the Option shall be subject to applicable 
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.  Federal, state and 
local withholding tax due upon the exercise of any Option may be paid in 
shares of Common Stock upon such terms and conditions as the Board shall 
determine; provided, however, that the Board in its sole discretion, may 
disapprove such payment and require that such taxes be paid in cash.

      15.    Separability.  If any of the terms or provisions of this Stock 
Option Agreement conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the 
Exchange Act (as the same shall be amended from time to time), then such terms 
or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with 
the requirements of said Rule 16b-3.

      16.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of 
changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock 
dividend, distribution, split-up, recapitalization, subdivision, combination 
or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or liquidation and the like, the 
number and class of shares subject to any outstanding Option, the Option 
prices thereof and the time or times of the exercise of any outstanding 
Option, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board in its sole and absolute 
discretion, whose determination shall be conclusive.  Except as expressly 

<PAGE>

provided in this Section 16, Employee shall have no rights by reason of 
subdivision or consolidation of shares or stock of any class, the payment of 
any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares 
of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger or 
consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation, and any 
issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities 
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no 
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of 
purchase price of Employee's Shares.  The grant of the Option shall not affect 
in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, 
reclassification, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business 
structure, to merge or consolidate or dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer 
all or any part of its assets.  All adjustments shall be rounded to the lowest 
whole number of shares of Common Stock and all Option prices shall be rounded 
to the nearest penny.

      17.    Obligations of Employee.  This Stock Option Agreement and the 
granting of the Option shall impose no obligations on Employee to exercise the 
Option.

      18.    Obligations of the Company.  In the event the Option is not 
timely exercised as provided for in this Stock Option Agreement, the Company 
shall have no further obligations or liabilities to Employee arising out of or 
in any way connected with this Stock Option Agreement.

      19.    Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Employee.  Employee 
hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

            a.   Employee is entering into this Stock Option Agreement and the 
transactions herein contemplated based on Employee's own familiarity with the

Stock Option Agreement and of making an informed investment decision with 
respect to the transactions contemplated in this Stock Option Agreement; and

            d.     Employee has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and 
receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the 
transactions contemplated by this Stock Option Agreement and the Plan.

      20.   Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company.  The 
obligations of the Company under this Stock Option Agreement to sell and 
deliver Employee's Shares, are at its option, subject to (i) receiving an 
opinion of counsel for the Company that the Company has complied with or is 
exempt from (a) all applicable registration requirements under the Securities 
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), (b) all applicable registration 
requirements under the securities laws of any state, (c) all applicable listing 
requirements of any national securities exchanges on which stock of the same 
class as Employee's Shares is then listed or registered and (d) all other 
requirements of law or of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the 
issuance and delivery of Employee's Shares; and (ii) Employee complying with 
all of the terms and conditions of this Stock Option Agreement and the Plan.

      21.    Restrictions on Transfer.  Regardless of whether the offering and 
sale of Employee's Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act or has been 
registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company 
may impose restrictions on the sale, pledge or other transfer of Employee's 
Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) 
if, in the judgment of the Company and its counsel, such restrictions are 
necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of 
the 1933 Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.  In the event 
that the sale of Employee's shares is not registered under the 1933 Act, but 
an exemption is available which required an investment representation or other 
representation, Employee shall be required as a condition precedent to the 
Company's delivering of Employee's Shares to Employee, to represent that 
Employee's Shares are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to 
the sale or distribution thereof, and to make such other representations as 
are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.  Any 
determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the 
matters set forth in this Section shall be conclusive and binding on all 
persons.  Stock certificates evidencing  Employee's Shares acquired under this 
Stock Option Agreement pursuant to an unregistered transaction shall bear the 
following restrictive legend and such other restrictive legends as are 
required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law:

"THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER 
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT").  ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH 
SECURITIES WILL BE INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT 
IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER 
SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE 
1933 ACT".

      22.    Registration or Qualification of Securities.  The Company may, 
but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the issuance of the Option 
and/or the sale of Employee's Shares under the 1933 Act or any other 
applicable law.  The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative 
action in order to cause the issuance of the Option or the sale of Employee's 
Shares under this Stock Option Agreement to comply with any law.

      23.    Exchange of Certificates.  If, in the opinion of the Company and 
its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Employee's 
Shares sold under this Stock Option agreement is no longer required, the 
holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for 
a certificate representing the same number of Employee's Shares, but lacking 
such legend.

      24.    Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communication 
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given 
(except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein to the contrary) if 
(i) delivered by hand or telecopied and receipted for by the party to whom 
said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (ii) mailed by 
certified or registered mail with postage prepaid or (iii) shipped and 
receipted by express courier service charges prepaid by shipper addressed as 
follows (or to such other address as may be designated by notice given 
pursuant hereto):
